Good morning,
So we will be on our way in a bit. Heading to the north to me my brother from the south. Plus the rest of our relatives in the area. Really am looking forward to the visit. Hope the mosquitoes are not as bad there as they are here. They are really gaining in numbers and hungry. Seems like I remember there were a lot of them there all summer long. Dad really had a problem with them and would fill the sleeping tent with bug spray every night before we went to bed. Not sure what he used, but probably contained DDT, which was legal at the time, but not now. Maybe in the years to come deet will be outlawed too.
I raked the claw of my claw hammer across the inside wrist of my left hand yesterday afternoon. Fortunately it was the hammer claw and not a knife. It dug a furrow in my hide, causing my body to leak some at that point. Nothing serious, but bled pretty good thanx the blood thinners I am on for my BP. The furrow went right over a pretty substantial vein there without cutting it. If it had been a knife, it probably would have cut it. Nurse Margriet went into action to plug the leak, but it ended my construction activities for the rest of the day. I was trying to pull a drive screw out of an old deck board, when the hammer slipped.
The right rear brake on the van started to grab last week. As time went on it got much worse. I took it apart and discovered that I had reversed the brake shoes. The one supposed to be in front was in the back of the brake assembly. The lining on each shoe are in different locations, causing it to make contact too soon in the braking action. After looking at my repair manual’s diagram again I see how I made the error. The diagram was of the left rear and I was working on the right rear - mirror image. Oh well, the error is corrected and hope it works for another 100,000 miles or so. Felt kind of dump when I figured out what I had done though!
Guess it is time to wake up my Woman and get the show on the road. Time to get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
